Traffic and Systems Engineering
Ensuring Reliable Transport and System Technology
In today’s world, mobility is more crucial than ever. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the safe, fast, and reliable transport of people and goods from point A to point B is essential. Supply chains are complex and global, and time is a scarce resource. Consequently, transport operations must be organized efficiently and safely, and supply chains must be designed for resilience. Technological advancements are opening up new opportunities to make mobility more efficient and sustainable.
JAKOB products are as diverse as the modes of transport, technologies, and systems in which they are used. Drawing on our expertise and our high-performance drive, clamping, and vacuum technologies, we ensure that mobility functions efficiently, reliably, and safely—for our customers and for the people who benefit from it.
High-performance and versatile solutions for all transport systems
Our couplings are used in trains, trams, and commercial vehicles, ensuring reliable drive systems and precise control—for instance, in automatic door systems or sensor technology. Manufacturers and operators of test rigs in the e-mobility and automotive sectors also rely on our backlash-free metal bellows, elastomer, distance, and safety couplings.
Our robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel couplings prove their worth in a wide range of marine applications on board ships and ferries. They are exceptionally resistant to aggressive saltwater and the harsh conditions found in offshore environments. Other product series are also reliably employed in drive systems for lock gates, as well as in ports and shipyards—for example, in crane and winch applications.
In the aerospace industry, absolute safety and reliability are paramount—even under the most extreme conditions. Key factors include high temperature resistance amidst significant fluctuations, resistance to corrosion and radiation, fatigue strength, and weight-optimized lightweight designs. Our innovative coupling solutions meet these demands, keeping technology and systems running reliably and precisely.
With JAKOB Antriebstechnik, mobility keeps moving—reliably, precisely, and powerfully—wherever people and systems are in motion.
JAKOB Technology—on land, at sea, or in the air.
